According to the Philanthropy Roundtable, “faith inspires the values of selfless and sacrificial generosity—values that improve lives.” Faith-based philanthropy is a sector that is seeing dramatic growth globally, and Muslim philanthropy is one of the most diverse faith-based philanthropic communities in the United States.

The Muslim Philanthropy Initiative was established in 2017 by the Lake Institute on Faith and Giving and the dean’s office of the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. Its mission is to create educational programs designed to broaden understanding of the Muslim philanthropic, nonprofit, and voluntary sector. Your contribution to this fund supports the endeavors that the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy undertakes in support of the MPI.

Thank you for your generous support of this important work!
